I visited Cambodia a few years ago. I believe we visited the same killing fields memorial. That is from Choeung Ek, is it not? Walking on the path and seeing the occasional bit of clothing, bone or tooth embedded in the path…I have never been more disturbed.

David,
Cambodia was pretty Humid but it was bearable, though I am from Australia after all. Angor Wat was magnificent.

Hello again,

Was Cambodia as dry and hot for you as it was for me?

Angkor Wat was pretty awesome huh? I was in awe the entire time by such structures built hundreds of years ago.

Cambodia is a truly amazing place, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museuem looks like a interesting place to visit.

Great photos – I am so jealous! I have traveled around quite a bit of South East Asia but never got time to go Cambodia – looks like an interesting place. I would defiantly recommend spending a night or two in Halong Bay in Vietnam you have the chance. Looking forward to your next update.

Beautiful shots man, you’re brave to try insects and snakes! I think I could eat them if no one told me what it was beforehand .

Anna,
It is worth it if get the chance!

Callum,
Thanks and will do!

Luis,
Not sure about the South American trip yet, still awaiting word from a friend if they can get work off. We will see.

Lawrence,
Yeah the steps were quite difficult but I woulda kicked myself if I didn’t go up!

Bebop,
I think the motorcycle ones are worse… They tie the same amount on the back of a motorcycle – quite a site actually but probably not one for a animal activist.

Unit B,
Haha, that one made me laugh. No seat belt laws there… hardly any laws for that matter.

What’s in Atlanta? I also hear you can shoot a rocket launcher in Cambodia!? Not so sure how true that is though but I wouldn’t be surprised – it is Cambodia after all.

Igor,
Poland – really don’t know much about it but when I visit eastern Europe (which I am still yet to do) I will most probably drop by there.

Toby,
Very much so, the freedom of having a “web” life is great.

Looks awesome, it’s great to see that you can do this work and it gives you the freedom to explore the world. Very cool indeed.

What’s amazing is most people have never heard of the Khmer Rouge… well, here in America at least. Cool photos, for some reason I recall seeing the rooted tree… somewhere.

Great photos and I am looking forward for the photos from other countries:)

And in the future when you will be in Poland (I hope that you will visit my country too ) go and visit – Oswiecim – Auschwitz concentration camp. It is a quite specific feeling. (Just though about it when I was watching photos from the prison)

“Those are live chickens tied to the roof of a van.” Don’t they have seatbelt laws?

“This is probably the only place in the world where you will be able to freely walk around with a live, loaded gun as a tourist attraction.” Haven’t visited Atlanta yet, have you?

What an amazing trip!! I didn’t know that place

It looks an amazing trip, so exotic!

Wow, very impressive! lucky you… loved the temple ones. The Chicken one is quite sad… I’m a bit of an animal-welfare preacher. Thanks for sharing such wonderful experience in images. Cheers!

First time commenting, but I’ve been reading for a few months now. I went to Cambodia 2 years ago so this brings back memories. I didn’t see everything you have pictured here, but it was still an inspiration, thrilling experience!

Kudos for having the guts to climb up those temple steps. I only managed a quarter of them before coming back down since it was so steep, you could barely make out the steps below!

Awesome pictures, and thanks for being an inspiration to me. =)

This looks awesome. Thanks for sharing the photos. Really makes me want to travel, haven’t gone out of Australia for many years now. Need to get out.

This pictures are awesome man, all the culture and traditions of those countries is impressive for an occident culture like me, and the cat fish photo is excellent, and the temples are really impressive work.
And for South America you should go to Colombia, don’t be scary, is not like the news and films show all the time, is really beautiful and not more dangerous then Mexico!!!!

By: Callum Chapman

Callum Chapman — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 07:30:38 +0000

That’s really cool – It looks like you had a great time!

I’m really looking forward to seeing the other photos and have fun snowboarding in NZ!

Great pics from Cambodia.. really makes me want to travel to that part of the world!

Sneh,
Yup, Cambodia is an adventurous place. The fish massage was ticklish for the first minute or two (when the most fish are on you) but then you get used to it. It is a very weird feeling.

I’ve also visited the floating markets in Bangkok but it was so touristy (as you would know)… when I was there, there was so many tourists that we literally couldn’t move – our boat was jammed between about 8 other boats in the narrow water ways. In contrast, this particular floating village has been around for decades and is actually their way of life but more and more tourists are coming there too.

And re the tarantulas, yeah they are venomous however I guess the cooking kills the venom? Not really sure but our tour leader had it so I figured it was safe.

Carl,
Was in Bangkok back in February, a very busy place!

Mike E,
Defineitely worth a visit.

Mike B.,
You will love it! The “shooting range” is not in tourist books but all of the cab drivers know where it is. You can also hire cab drivers for the day ($45) – it’s worth it if you are visiting the outer areas of Cambodia.

Angie,
At this stage nothing has been planned but hoping to do Mexico, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. Just waiting on a friend before we begin planning – all depends on her getting out of work.

Jacob, great pics.

Also, out of curiosity, where are you planning on stopping in South America? It is a personal favorite…

Hey Jacob, Awesome photos… you’ve gotten me very psyched now… I fly to Vietnam and Cambodia in October and simply can’t wait. Now it’s going to be even harder to not get excited.

Cheers,
